In a world that is in a constant state of emergency, we are beyond the point of asking whether to panic or not. We maneuver through a society in which the panic mode seems to be permanently on. So instead, V2_, Lab for the Unstable Media, is presenting two artists that have been developing work with us, addressing various states of urgency.
In the exhibition PANIC MODE: ON there are two works for the audience to detonate. Created controlled, contained explosions. Allow yourself to take full control. Come and detonate the explosive artworks presented, sit back, and enjoy.
V2_, Lab for the Unstable Media, is an interdisciplinary center for art and media technology in Rotterdam (the Netherlands). V2_ presents, produces, archives, and publishes research at the interface of art, technology, and society. Founded in 1981, V2_ offers a platform for artists, designers, scientists, researchers, theorists, and developers of software and hardware from various disciplines to discuss their work and share their findings. In V2_’s view, art and design play an essential role in the social embedding of technological developments. V2_ creates a context in which issues regarding the social impact of technology are explored through critical dialogue, artistic reflection, and practice-oriented research.
